About this trial

This study was design to:

* To assess the impact of a biweekly (experimental arm) compared to a conventional administration (control arm) on the rate of grade 3-4 neutropenia in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with trifluridine/tipiracil plus bevacizumab, and * To identify predictive clinical and biological factors for grade 3-4 neutropenia in this patient population.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The occurrence of at least one grade 3-4 neutropenia

The occurrence of 3-4 neutropenia in mCRC patients undergoing treatment with the combination of bevacizumab and bi-weekly administration of trifluridine/tipiracil (experimental arm) compared to a conventional administration (control arm).

Time frame
From randomization up to 14 days after the end of treatment

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival (OS)

OS in both arms; calculated from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.

Time frame
From the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years
2

Progression-free survival (PFS)

PFS in both arms; defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first documented PD determined by the Investigator assessment by RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first

Time frame
From randomization to the date of the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, up to 3 years
3

Best overall response (BOR)

BOR according to Response Evaluation Criteria Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 in both arms; defined as the best response designation (CR, PR, SD or PD), evaluated on all radiological evaluations available and related to study treatment period.

Time frame
From randomization to the date of progression, death or subsequent anti-cancer therapy, up to 3 years
4

Disease control rate (DCR)

DCR in both arms according to RECIST v1.1; defined as at least a CR, PR or SD radiological evaluation designation on all radiological evaluations available and related to study treatment period.

Time frame
Up to achievement of best overall response (BOR) of CR or PR or SD, up to 3 years
